## Property Overview

159 Madison Ave - The One to Own in NoMad

Bright, south-facing, and impossibly well-located — this is the one-bedroom everyone is looking for in this part of town.

Perched in the landmark Manice Building — a 12-story Renaissance Revival loft masterpiece built 1911-1912 — this residence delivers soaring 10-foot ceilings and a true loft-like sense of volume and light you just don't find anymore.

The open, updated kitchen is done right with stainless steel appliances, elegant stone counters, and designer tile backsplash. In the living room, custom sliding glass doors allow you to fully enclose the space — perfect for a true live/work setup, a private home office, or a second sleeping area.

The king-size bedroom easily accommodates a king bed plus a substantial work area — rare in Manhattan. Completing the home is a fully tiled, timeless bath with modern fixtures, recessed lighting, beautiful hardwood floors, three generous closets, and convenient laundry on the 6th floor.

Location is everything: Just blocks from Madison Square Park, Grand Central Terminal, and Penn Station. Everything you want is outside your door.

And the building gets it: Co-purchasing, parents buying for children, gifting, and guarantors (NYS residents) permitted. Pet-friendly under 40 lbs and subletting after 2 years permitted, each subject to board approval.

This is that rare combination of historic grandeur, modern convenience, and NoMad location — the apartment to buy in this neighborhood right now.

All measurements and square footages are approximate.

Every row is a recorded transaction, including ancillary spaces such as storage and staff rooms where they were sold separately. Those are excluded from the benchmark below.

### How this price compares

The median closed price for comparable one-bedroom sales at 159 Madison Avenue is $575,000, based on 13 sales between March 2022 and March 2026. This home is asking $625,000, $50,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $545,000 and $599,000.

- **Median closed price**: $575,000
- **Middle half**: $545,000 – $599,000
- **Based on**: 13 one-bedroom sales at 159 Madison Avenue
- **Period**: March 2022 – March 2026

Square footage is recorded for only 6 of these 13 sales (46%), so no price per square foot is shown for this group. Co-op sales rarely carry a floor area, and a figure drawn from a handful of them would not describe the rest.

Across the 11 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96.7% of what it originally asked. 82% of them closed below the original ask.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sold vs original ask**: 96.7% of the original ask
- **Closed below ask**: 82% of 11 sales
- **Listed → in contract**: 110 days (about 16 weeks)
- **In contract → closed**: 78 days (about 11 weeks)

Across the 11 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96.7% of what it originally asked. 82% of them closed below the original ask.

Half of these homes were in contract within 110 days (about 16 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 11 with a recorded listing date.

Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 78 days (about 11 weeks), based on the 11 with both dates recorded. A co-op board package and its interview account for much of that.

These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.

Based on 13 one-bedroom sales at 159 Madison Avenue, March 2022 – March 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ.

### Price trend

Median sold price for co-op one-bedroom sales in Midtown, 2017 to 2025. The series is held to one bedroom count and one ownership type for the same reason: an unfiltered median tracks which apartments sold, not what they were worth.

| Year | Median sold price | Sales |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2017 | $620,000 | 17 |
| 2018 | $599,000 | 21 |
| 2019 | $639,000 | 16 |
| 2021 | $552,500 | 30 |
| 2022 | $587,500 | 16 |
| 2023 | $575,000 | 17 |
| 2024 | $613,125 | 18 |
| 2025 | $600,000 | 14 |

This building does not have enough sales with a recorded floor area to chart its own price per square foot, which is usual for a co-op. The series above follows comparable homes across Midtown instead.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

## Property Taxes

This apartment is part of a co-op that is taxed as one lot shared across 118 apartments. The corporation’s 2026 property tax bill was $1,768,875 for the whole building. Shareholders cover it through their monthly maintenance rather than a separate bill for this unit.
